And... one has to love the originality of the bid amount! 

I know who placed the bid. He was at the ZCON in Memphis. I believe this G Nose was his car.

I loved that car when I saw it at ZCON Memphis 2015!

The old Hoover Bag:

That's definitely his car. The Georgia plates give it away.

Vehicular midlife crisis. In Fire Appliance Red, no less.

Punchline: In this unique case, the G in G-nose stands for Grille. Yes. It's a genuine Fairlady ZGrille.

Don't forget the two 240z's that sold over $100,000 in 2018 thanks to @kats

I though it might be 4RE red.

I didnt think those were "240z's"

I thought they were some other variety

They were listed as 1996. They were from the restore program by Nissan USA.

I had heard that some of the VZ cars had sold at private auctions for $100K - that's great,  @kats is awesome!

What I don't get is the little circus that about 3 or 4 people have on their between themselves? It reads like they're bidding as they want to to be the first to pay 100K. 

I think we should let them. 

A fool and his money are easily parted.

The comments section on Bring-a-Trailer auctions can be a bizarre watch. Having live bidders commenting on the very thing they are [potentially] buying opens up the way for all sorts of trouble.

Vintage automobile values require slow cooking. Blitzing the dish in a microwave is a mistake.
